What this video covers

The owners of the catamaran Mistertong perform maintenance and repairs while anchored in Martinique, including applying epoxy primer to the mast base and sanding fiberglass repairs.5:52 The owner attempts to repair a dinghy outboard propeller by drilling through the hub to bypass the rubber dampening bushing, a modification intended as an emergency fix to prevent the propeller from spinning freely under load.4:03 The crew also discusses the challenges of cleaning epoxy bubble rollers, noting that acetone baths are difficult to manage on a moving boat.26:18

Beyond maintenance, the crew practices sailing maneuvers, having recently completed a training day with an experienced sailor to gain confidence in handling the catamaran.29:37 They plan to transition from using the dinghy for shore trips to moving the catamaran itself for better access to supplies and fuel.19:47 The crew also addresses viewer questions regarding their project timeline, explaining that their goal remains sailing and sharing their experience rather than seeking long-term employment ashore.31:08 The segment concludes with a lighthearted attempt at self-administered haircuts using a beard trimmer.10:50
